Patterson then resumed his remarks and had spoken but a few minutes when he yielded to Quay, who branched out on the statehood bill, which, he sald, had been carried into the gloom of the cav- ern of death and laid away for resurrec- tion. He then sent to the desk the state- hood bill as an amendment to the Philip- pine tariff bill and had it read. He sa'd he wanted the forty-seven pages of itaiics read. Quay called Mr. Tillman's attention to the fact that Indian Territory had been stricken out of the bill. “Then I will vote for it,” Tillman quick- 1y replied. The amendment was then read in its entirety. During the reading Hale sub- mitted the conference report on the naval ;xpprupriatlon bill. The report was agreed 0. The conference report on the general deficiency bill also was submitted = and agreed to. Hale then moved a recess unt!l 10 o'clock. Pending that motion Quay with- drew his statehood amendment, remar! ing that “the circumstance requiring the offering of the amendment had col- lapsed.” The Senate took a recess until 10 o'clock. —_— FIVE NEW BATTLESHIPS.

The effect of the agreement is that the House pro- ramme is accepted,’ except that two 000-ton battleships are substituted for one cruiser.

The ‘' Democratic opposition | did not abate and will be continued un- | til Congress expires at moon on Marck 4. | During the debate on conference re: ports members on each side got In polit! cal speeches and several times party pas: sion flared up. Just before recess, bed lam broke loose and there was an ex- change of high words between two mem floor. A personal alterc: tion seemed imminent in the confusion, | but was averted by the Intervention of | friends. The actual business done dur- ing the eight hours of the day session | consisted of the adoption of the con-| ference reports on the immigration, pub- | erence of the President's veto messag: | of a Virginia claim bill to the Committee | on War Claims, the adoption of a resolu- | tion to correct clerical errors in the im- | migration bill and the passage of a Sen- | ate bill to authorize the Treasury Depart- | ment to coln souvenir coins for the | Thomas Jefferson Memorial Association. | When the House reconvened at 11| o'clock this morning there was a fairly large attendance on, the floor and the | galleries were well filled. As soon as Speaker Hendenson called the House to order, Richardson, the minority leader, attempted to make the point of no quorum, but the Speaker recognized Payne to demand the ayes and noes on the pending question coming over from last night—the adoption of the confer- ence report on the immigration bill.

He pleaded with | the minority to dispense with the read- ing of the report in extenso, but Rich- ardson was obdurate and refused consent. A very amusing -scene followed. The | volces of the reading clerks who officiated | vesterday having been worn out by the | ceaselegs calling of the roll, a member of | the Capltol police force was drafted to- | day. He had at one time been a reading | clerk of the Maryland House of Dele- | gates, and later an auctioneer. He had | a foghorn voice and in reading figutes tioneer in the exercise of his profession, | knocking down goods to the highest bid- der. The members of the House, as well as the spectators in the galleries, were convulsed with uncontrollable laughter, which changed suddenly to handclapping. The new clerk, belleving that some ac- knowledgment of this demonstration was | | due, suspended the reading to bow right and left. This grotgsque proceeding only | fncreased the merriment and brought down a storm of applause. The confusion | became so great that Goldfogfe of New York protested against the clerk’s action as unseemly, and the chair was obliged to admonish members to preserve order. The ten minutes’ debate allowed on the bill was entirely consumed in the discus- | ston of the act of the conferees in strik- | ing out the appropriation of $2.000,000 for a New York postoffice site. The report | was adooted, 211 to 11. | A Dill was passed under suspension of the rules to grant a right of way through the Vancouver Barracks reservation to the Vancouver and Yakima Railroad.
